"I didn't hire a car, I can't carry it myself."
Song Lili rolled her eyes at him. "Why don't you just go to the village and borrow a horse-drawn carriage? Just give them some money, that'll do." Did he really think he'd go looking for a separate carriage? How stupid!
Wang Daming slapped his forehead in sudden realization, "That's right, how come I didn't remember? You wait here, I'll go find the car." Then, he ran off like the wind.
Song Lili shrugged and led Song Fang to pick vegetables, saying that the sooner they finished, the sooner they could rest.
Because it's summer, vegetables are cheap, so this time I only sold them for eight yuan.
However, Song Lili was satisfied. After several such trips, the family had accumulated several tens of thousands of yuan in savings, which was much better than before.
The food at home has improved, and as for everything else, Song Lili is fine with it, as long as she eats well.
Before leaving, Wang Daming told Song Lili some uncertain news: "I went to see Brother Xianqian a few days ago and heard that various villages are going to form militias."
Song Lili, however, took it seriously: "Are you sure? You really want to form a militia?"
Today, on her way home, she suddenly had a bold idea. Hearing about the militia now coincided with her own thoughts.
"I'm not sure either, but they all say it's possible. It should be about right."
"Here's what I'll do. I'll inquire about it for you, and if I confirm it, I'll send you a message."
"Okay, thank you in advance." Song Lili nodded.
With everything resolved and the people who shouldn't have been in the house gone, Song Lili finally had time to relax and enjoy herself.
Hooray! Finally, one fly is gone, and the biggest blood-sucking mosquito is gone too. Once she gets rid of him, she can finally have a carefree life.
Song Lili, keep going!!
The rain stopped after a day, and for the next few days, everyone in Hongqi Village was harvesting barley.
Only after all the barley had been harvested, husked, dried, and stored in the warehouse did I finally have a little free time.
These past few days, because of Luo Weijia's difficulties, Qin Hongxia's family has been in dire straits, doing the hardest work every day while being supervised by Luo Weijia, and not allowed to slack off in any way.
So every night, Song Lili could hear the wailing and howling sounds coming from Qin Hongxia's house.
First came Zhang Laidi's crying and shouting, presumably from Qin Hongxia, followed by Qin Hongxia's crying, undoubtedly from Zhang Laidi.
Therefore, the Qin family's daily life was like a grand opera, very lively, which made Song Lili extremely happy.
Song Lili didn't know if Luo Weijia suspected her, nor did she want to confirm it, lest she make things worse.
As long as Luo Weijia didn't make things difficult for her, that was enough.
In her spare time, Song Lili would take Song Fang to dig for wild vegetables, which became one of her hobbies.
Although there is no shortage of food at home, she still wants to eat it every now and then, because it's said to be good for her health.
The family didn't raise pigs today, so the two sisters had a lot more free time.
It was all over when Song Lili's grandmother, Madam Gu, suddenly came to visit. Song Lili immediately became alert, as if facing a formidable enemy.
This grandma is so biased; every time she comes, nothing good ever happens.
Song Lili pulled Song Fang behind her, only calling her "Grandma" once before falling silent, leaving Song Yongren to handle the situation himself.
"Mom, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
Song Lili pursed her lips. Wasn't this a rhetorical question? Didn't you see that the person was holding a bulging bag? It couldn't be anything good.
However, to Song Lili's utter surprise, Gu threw the bag in her hand to Song Yongren.
“This is the grain that you deducted from your work points. I’m taking it back. I left half for your older brother, and this half is for you.”
"Go and empty it out right away, and give me the bag. This is the boss's bag; it can't be left at your house."
Song Lili was initially surprised, even somewhat delighted, and her impression of the Gu family changed significantly.
But when Gu said the bag belonged to Song Yongli's dog, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. It was the same old story.
The Gu family is still the same Gu family, favoring the eldest uncle's family.
After Gu left, Song Lili realized that the Gu she had seen before was a very one-sided view.
I only saw the Gu family's favoritism, but today I'm seeing another side of it.
Actually, it wasn't that she disliked Song Yongren or didn't like him; it was just that Gu Shi held traditional Chinese values.
They value the eldest son and grandson, which is just a preference for sons over daughters; they still care about all the children.
Therefore, Song Lili didn't dislike Gu Shi as much anymore. She felt that although Gu Shi was still not likable, she was much more pleasing to the eye.
She decided that from now on, whenever she had something good, she would give some to her grandmother as a token of her filial piety. She'd start with half of today's food.
